Learning Spirituality from Imam Husayn (a) Quotes

“We came to this world to see for ourselves what it feels like to live independently of God. We came to see what it feels like to take care of ourselves alone. The spiritual journey begins when the person who is on this Earth admit that they do not want to be independent of God. They realize that God does a better job of taking care of them than they ever could, so they surrender to him.”
